Artist's Description

This is my first attempt at painting a human in water colour….So ,all you water~ colourists give me some tips please!! : ) Wen xI used a photograph that Helen Bascom kindly let me use of her son Malcolm. So while it doesn’t look identical to him…it was inspired by beautiful little Malcolm : ) , Thank you Helen!! Please look in on the very talented Helen’s work at http://www.redbubble.com/people/hmbascom Wen xxx.

Well, it was Malcolm I thought of instantly when I saw this, before even reading your words.I think you did a wonderful job Wen, your colours are bright and vibrant, not muddied at all and the detail in this is just superb. If this is your first attempt, I can’t wait to see what you come up with with your next portrait!!

Really?! Awwww..thank you so much Marion! : ) I’m so happy that you thought of Malcolm first. l will be challenging myself again in the near furture because I’ll be putting some work into the local Zonta exhibition again this Australia Day. Perhaps I’ll include some watercolours in it this year : ). thanks again.. Wen xox
